Cherry On Top

Tuesday -- Beautiful cold morning of late December. It is 7 C below zero. Sunny and cloudy mixed morning. Last night my sleep was not good. This is also sort of old age syndrome. Things start happening at our age. Started my day a bit late. It is 10.45, now done with my breakfast, sitting in my room with my computer.

My daughter calling me from Kent. England is under lockdown. Everyone staying home. My daughter, the middle one, called from Grimsby. She was planning to go to London, to see her daughter, who is in "Home". But not anymore. All plans are cancelled for now.

My youngest daughter called from Reading. Her daughter was planning to be with her for her wedding anniversary. She lives at 40 minutes drive from Reading. They had big plans to celebrate. Not now. 

Things happen. Safety comes first. Everyone has to follow the Directives. Keep distancing and stay away. Things will be better soon. There is always light at the end of tunnel. This too shall pass.

It is 11.30, I am at Frenchman's Bay. Beautiful view. Lake looks great. Water, blue in the lake and pinkish hue above on the sky. Wonderful, cherry on top. Swans and Ducks are all around. Having chit chat, busy socializing with their family and friends. Amazing. 

It is very windy and cold. I think gusts, not less than 70 km. Unbearable. I am all dressed up in layers with long winter coat, underneath is my maroon sweater. My gloves, woolen stole, everything is there, still not feeling comfortable. 

I had my plan number two ready, so decided to go to Walmart. I have to get my shampoo, conditioner for myself and candies for some of my friends and for my grand kids. I can do that. 

We never have to rely on the plan in hand. Keep ready other plans so to switch, according to the circumstances. We never know what comes up and we, not be able to carry on with our existing one.

Nothing is end of the world. Do what you can and just relax. It is 1.30, I am back, got the things I wanted. Walmart was not crowded. I had my Mask too, so it was fine. Now time to be in my kitchen, for making milkshakes. 

I got Strawberries from Walmart. I will mix that with banana. My eldest grandson will like that. Make for my son and for myself too. It is great, to spread happiness. To put smile on the faces around, is unique. It gives you inner peace and eternal happiness. What else we need, nothing more.

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
